 Rather than receive extended rentals as members of NWP, we are now entitled to a flat rate discount of 5% on equipment rentals.

Dear Friends,
I’m sending this email to let you know that Art Wolfe will be in Portland on June 6 & 7 for his 2008 Creative Sessions Event.  Pro Photo Supply is our sponsor for the event.
 
The two-day intensive will be held at the Red Lion Hotel at Jantzen Beach.  It will be filled with creative inspiration, practical information, and FUN!  Also, we’ll be giving away amazing things from our sponsors…including a Gitzo tripod and Lowepro backpacks. 
 
Please, let your membership know….there are discounted seats for NANPA and ASMP members…and one day tickets available too.
 
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions.  And talk to me about “gratis” seats for your club….available for every 5 seats that are sold to your group…you can use them for  fundraisers, or perhaps for youth scholarship seats?  Let’s talk!
 
Copy and paste the link for all the info…

Warmly,

As a result of member feedback and the increased monitor sizes being used by our members, I have increased the limit for embedded image sizes displayed in posts. You may now embed images (hotlink) up to 1024 px in the longest edge. The previous limit was 800 px.  I have also made an adjustment to the attachment feature of the forums such that you may attach images larger than 800 px as well. In the case of attachments, the forums software will create a reduced size image (large thumbnail) that will be displayed inline the post and will also hyperlink to the full sized image when clicked on.Click here for additional detail:
